Ep. 334- Talking Ticks: Tick Safety for Hunters, Hikers, and Outdoor Enthusiasts with Dr. Thomas MAther

Ticks are becoming a growing concern for hunters, landowners, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone spending time outside. In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Thomas Mather, Director of the University of Rhode Island’s Center for Vector-Borne Disease and creator of TickEncounter.

We discuss Lyme disease, Alpha-Gal Syndrome, how ticks find and attach to hosts, common misconceptions, risks to wildlife and pets, habitat management, tick prevention, and proper tick removal techniques.

If you want to better understand ticks and how to protect yourself in the outdoors, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
